Cantilever racking uses a many arms, horizontally in a line, that support long items such as lengths of timber, piping or sheet products. Cantilever racking can be many arms wide and high to allow for even the longest items. This style of racking is generally custom designed for individual stock and warehouse requirements.

Cantilever Racking uprights can be made in in most heights from 2.4m up, in 600mm increments. The Cantilever upright can generally hold up from 2,000kg up to 16,000kg per upright, when used in the double sided format.

All Cantilever Racking uprights are punched with holes for double sided format in production.

Each individual Cantilever Racking upright is braced to the upright next to it with horizontal and cross bracing. The Cantilever Racking bracing forms 2 purposes; firstly ensure that the Cantilever racking is stable and will not fall over when loaded, and secondly to ensure the Cantilever Racking uprights are kept at a specific distance apart. When quoting on Cantilever Racking this spacing is mentioned as the load centre and is the measurement of the middle of one Cantilever Racking arm to the middle of the next arm. The load centres are generally available from 750mm up to 1,800mm in 150mm increments.
